About Me

By God's grace through faith I have been saved! I am a follower of the Living God and although my flesh limits me I work hard to honor Him daily. God joined me in marriage with this amazing man He saved for me. I'm humbled everyday!!

My handsome husband and I on our gorgeous wedding day May 24, 2014. (Thank you, Lord for such a beautiful day!)

I have another fella in my life...

Meet my dog, Snoopy!

This little fella warms my heart. He is an old soul, loves to cuddle, doesn't mind being on his own, loves watching the neighborhood from the front window, has a strange draw to horses - yes they outsize him by at least 190lbs (he doesn't seem to mind/have any fear of them?!), loves playing with cats - much to my husband's dismay, and greets me with pure joy and excitement when I come home! It is perfect! He wags his tail so fast and relentlessly paws at me until I pick him up for a hug!

Another amazing companion in my life... is my twin sister.

She is awesome, incredible, creative, unique, and absolutely the best friend a gal could have!

I have lots of other great family members I can't wait to share more about them with you soon... until then here are a few pics.

Immediate family the night my fella proposed. Best photo-bomb ever by my cousin!

My cousin Lindsey. I love her! She could pass as my brother's twin!

Me & Ashley - my cousin. I think we could pass as sisters!

Me, My Brother - Nathan, & My Twin - Jaclyn

Circa 2010 - I think... 2nd Annual Family Ski Trip

To wrap up I'm an analytical optimist who believes and lives the power of prayer. I have a million thoughts going on in my head constantly. (My husband wants to dedicate my brain to science, but I figure I better keep it a little while longer and attempt to use it...)I
am living in a lot of 'newness' right now - newly married, new job, new
home in a new neighborhood. I hope you'll join me as I seek God and His will for my life.Hopefully, this blog will help you and me as we sort through our thoughts and all that is going on in life. Above all I pray this little space on the web will help each of us deepen our faith in Jesus Christ whose merciful grace saves.

That was it. I was tired.Not
the tired where I will sleep well because my rest was well earned. Not
the tired where you’re groggy and just need extra sleep. The
restless tired. The dangerous tired. The ‘I am done with this!’ tired. Why? I
was tired of competing with multiple screens: a TV, an ipad, 2 phones. Tired
of competing with every professional and college sport broadcast – with the
exception of women’s sports because we don’t get those on our TV. Tired
of competing with presidential news and daily “to do” list that have more
weight than US (as a couple). Tired
of there always being one more chore before that project I want to get to can
be started. Tired
of the same ol' same. In
the end I was just tired. Tired
of a world where we have to compete for a loved one’s attention. Tired
of competing with society’s mandates. Tired
of being a slave to fashion and trends. Tired
of competing with society’s warp version of pretty. Tired
of competing with a supermodel’s body image. Mostly,
I am tired …

We
draw these imaginary lines in the sand… Then,
the tide comes and we wonder why we must start again… We
build our castle of sand and hope it stands… Then,
the tide comes and we are displeased we must build again… We
make our own plans as we dream on the shore, Then,
the sun sets and we wish for more. We
wish for more time to enjoy the day. We
wish our lines in the sand would stay. We
wish our castles could be bigger and stronger. We
wish our plans would happen now and not take any longer. We
draw these imaginary lines in the sand… Then,
the tide comes and we wonder why we must start again… We
build our castle of sand again… Then,
the tide comes and we are displeased we must build again… We
make our own plans as we dream on the shore Then,
the sun sets and we wish for more. We rise the next day and do all of this again.We work to maintain, a new way we never entertain. We
start each day as a new beginning. Always wishing
for a new ending. Yet,
we continue to draw our lines in the sand. We
build our temp…
